Reviewer scorecard
“Mature API, excellent SDKs, and the content model is flexible. The enterprise choice for headless CMS.”
“Server Components, streaming, and the App Router represent the future of React. The Vercel deployment experience is unmatched.”
“Expensive for what it is. Sanity and Payload offer better DX at lower cost. Only justified for enterprise compliance needs.”
“Some complexity with the App Router learning curve, but it's the most complete full-stack React framework.”
“The editor experience is functional but uninspiring. Sanity's customizable studio is more pleasant to work in.”
“Next.js defines how modern web apps are built. Server Components and AI SDK integration make it the platform for AI web apps.”
